Abstract
This paper reports the design, construction, and testing of a
replica of the human arm which aims to be dynamically accurate as well
as kinematically accurate. The arm model is actuated with McKibben
pneumatic artificial muscles, and controlled by a special purpose
digital signal processing system designed to simulate spinal neural
networks in real time. An artificial muscle spindle has also been
designed and tested. Design and test data are reviewed, and the paper
describes how we hope to use the system to improve our understanding of
the reflexive control of human movement and posture.
